Basically, Festival doesn't support any encoding and it works with
whatever is defined in the particular language support.  This is
ISO 8859-2 in case of Czech.

In theory, it's possible to implement the support for a given language
in UTF-8 (some Indian languages do that), but it's cumbersome as all the
UTF handling must be done manually, without any support from Festival.
It's easier to recode the input text using iconv or another tool.

Perhaps the information about ISO 8859-2 coding should be added to some
of the README files in festival-czech (maybe the bug reporter would like
to provide a patch?).
